🎯 What is Dry Needling?
At Magnolia Regional Health Center Rehabilitation Services, Dry Needling is one of the many advanced techniques our skilled Physical Therapists may use to help relieve pain and restore movement.
🧠 How does it work?
Dry Needling targets trigger points—tight, painful muscle areas—using a thin, sterile filament needle. This stimulates healing, reduces inflammation, breaks up tight tissue, and helps normalize nerve signals to reduce pain.
💪 Conditions Treated Include:
Neck, back, & shoulder pain
Sciatica, hamstring strains, calf tightness
Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel
Headaches (including migraines), jaw pain & more
😌 Is it painful?
Most patients feel minimal discomfort—just a quick twitch or cramp-like sensation. Many report immediate relief and improved mobility afterward.
🎓 Specialized Training Matters
Not all medical or physical therapy professionals are trained to perform the Integrative Dry Needling treatment technique. The physical therapists at Magnolia Regional Health Center Rehabilitation Services have advanced training and have been certified through the Integrative Dry Needling Institute—ensuring safe, skilled, and effective treatment.
🧩 Part of a Full Treatment Plan
Dry Needling may be combined with manual therapy, exercise, posture training, and more—tailored just for you.
💡 Covered by Insurance?
Dry Needling is part of Physical Therapy—not acupuncture—and coverage is based on your plan's therapy benefits. Ask our staff for more details.
